I heard a story about a man, who, after drinking a little too much cider at a Halloween party, was trying to “walk it off” on his way home. Taking a shortcut through a graveyard, he accidentally stumbled into a freshly dug grave.

Try as he might to climb out, because of his mostly inebriated condition and because the rain that had fallen earlier in the day had made the sides of the grave muddy and slick, he finally gave up.
